Concerning the java-plugin - this is how it worked for me: I opened a document with java contents, to make Mozilla download and install the plugin automatically. BTW I needed to do this as root - permissions for my /usr/local/mozilla/plugins are: drwxr-xr-x 3 11191 uucp 4096 Apr 7 21:00 plugins and I *am* member of the uucp group... Now I realize that I didn't have the permission to create the necessary subdirectories as normal user... You definitely need write permission for /usr/local/mozilla/plugins. After download everything has been installed under the java2/ subdirectory. Additionally one needs to create a symlink like the following: cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins ln -s java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so . Finally you may chown westk.staff libjavaplugin_oji.so to get the permissions properly. Good luck, Andreas.
